The 92nd Naamam of SrI VenkatEsa AshtOttharam: **************************************** KhaDga-dhAriNE Nama: One who wears the sword known as Nandhakam ( the source of Joy).This sword of the Lord represents pure knowledge (jn~Ana) , which is born out of wisdom (sadhvidhyA ) according to VishNu PurANam .The flaming sword of Knowledge is the most powerful weapon to destroy our ajn~Anam. The sheath of this sword is nescience or avidhyA (VishNu PurAnam: 1.22.74). Thus all the weapons and AabharaNams of the Lord represent different Tatthvams.The Sword represents Jn~Anam . Lord 's Sword is radiant in its lustre and the PanchAyudha SthOthram salutes Nandakam this way : RakshOsurANAm kaDinOgra-kaNDacchEdaksharac-chONitha digdhadhAram Tamm NANDAKAM nAma HarE: pradheeptham Khadkam sadhAham saraNam prapathyE Among the 12 forms of the Lord protecting us , Thrivikraman is viewed as protecting us with Nandakam standing in the nirrudhi direction .
